The hard work of the grants committee at Valley Fire & Rescue has paid off well. Today we received news that our proposal for the SAFER grant had been approved for the full amount requested!

This grant will provide us resources to assist in recruiting more active firefighters in order to better serve our community. It will be utilized to cover stipends, cost of training & some related expenses, new personal protective equipment, and advertisement material!

The Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response Grants (SAFER) was created to provide funding directly to fire departments and volunteer firefighter interest organizations to help them increase or maintain the number of trained, “front line” firefighters available in their communities.

We would like to thank our grant writing committee for their tremendous work & dedication in getting us this award!
